Check the link for Images of Senegal and The Gambia that I took from July 3-July 9 2007 as the Wolof Language Consultant and Lead Wolof Language Instructor to Dr. Elaine Mosley's Roots Journey to Senegal, The Gambia and Paris. Enjoy and be sure to post your comments at the end of the thread or about specific pictures to let me know what you think of them.

Your images are beautiful.  Were you able to get any information on the uses of the plants you photographed??? The demostration of athletic ability reminds me of some of the paintings of warriors from Kemet...now I will have to go and photograph in both places to show the comparison...inspiring work here brother...

I wasn't able to find out their uses, they just caught my eye as the group was passing by them. We did, however learn of the tree that's used for the famous incense Cooraay, that the Wolof are known for.

Yes, these were the Fula acrobats. I'm sure many comparisons are there ready to be drawn.

I appreciate it as I seek to inspire. I'm no pro but I like to try to bring a piece of Kmt back with me to share wherever I go. Stay BlackNificent!
